FORMER Worcester Warriors hooker Gus Creevy scored a brace a tries for Argentina in a 39-18 defeat against Rugby Championship holders New Zealand in Christchurch today.

Pumas skipper Creevy notched two identical tries to reduce the deficit to 32-18 but the All Blacks were never seriously threatened.

New Zealand are seeking a fourth successive Rugby Championship crown.

Creevy, who was a hugely popular player at Worcester, left Sixways this summer to join a new Argentina-established side who will be competing in Super Rugby.
